In March, 2022, almost three years after photographing the first half of the Neria ceramic collection (see: Research Contribution 11: La Colección del Museo Dr. Juan Antonio Valdes, Vol. 1, Bruce Love and Meghan Rubenstein), I returned to El Chiclero, Neria and Tono’s rustic tourist lodgings in Uaxactun, to shoot the second half of her stunning collection. If you missed the introduction to Volume I, published in 2021, we repeat part of it here:
“The story behind her collection is fascinating, and well-told in Night Fire Film’s Out of the Maya Tombs (available at https://nightfirefilms.org/films/). The producers at Night Fire Films, David Lebrun and Rosie Guthrie, made a clip especially for this blog to introduce our readers to the museum and its founder. You may see the film clip by clicking here https://vimeo.com/589143884.”
